The suggestions given for sessions have been collated and are
detailed below with a
brief description of the intended content . Please indicate your
preferences on the form below and submit it by Friday 11th January
2008.There is not much time to collate responses so please meet this
deadline as late responses may prevent us from being able to inform you in
advance of your allocated sessions, which would limit any preparation we and you
would be able to do.
Each peer driven session will have
someone who steers the group and keeps the focus on the key issues of the
session. The leaders of these sessions are not intended to be the sole
expert as any such sessions are an opportunity to share practice and ideas
so please come to such sessions prepared to do this.
Carousel training provides several
parallel sessions from which you can choose the most appropriate mix of
topics to suit your interests. You are encouraged to attend as you will
appreciate that we are then able to offer a wider range of workshops.
